Since then, we&#8217;ve ran versions of the workshop, either together or on our own, at a whole range of conferences and events, and every time we&#8217;re asked if we can share the resources. The only reason we&#8217;ve not done so until now is because we&#8217;ve been planning to put together a proper web site and resource guide.<\/p>\n<p>However, reality has got in the way, and while we still plan to put something more comprehensive together in the long term, I am putting the workshop resources here to make them available now.
